STATE OF THE UNION Why do we need a Holy Spirit Revival in our Churches today? I have been very burdened about the need for a great awakening! As I read the Revivals of the past, I am convinced that we could see Revival again. A hunger for God and His Word to rule our lives and give us the abundant life Jesus talks about John 10:10. I feel like the Thief is stealing and taking ground he has no business taking. Don't take offense to what I have written just pray for pastor, evangelist, missionaries and our dear folks in the pews of our churches. Colossians. 2:8,15,18,22. 3:1-2 We are losing ground, churches closing, churches that can’t get a pastor, Young preachers that want all the benefit but don’t want to live by faith. (Excuses: Well, the Lord has told me to take care of my family! - I thought the Lord does that. I guess if the ministry was easy we would be flooded with preachers. What about all the so-called preachers just sitting in a church and not fulfilling their calling. Philosophy of Men vs Biblical Christianity (What man thinks). (What God thinks) 1. The Lost are influencing Christianity Atheism - The fool hath said in his heart there is no God. Ps 14:1 Agnostics - There may be a God but he has taken his hand of things Humanist - We determine our own destiny. Scotland Lady Critics of Christianity - They hate what the Christian stand for…. Abortion, Alcoholic beverages, Climate change, Dancing, Movies, Gambling 2. Professing Christians are influencing Christianity False Doctrine - Cults, Churches that have a works salvation Modernism - The Bible contains the word of God, but not all of it. PEN KNIFE Compromise - We don’t need to stand against sins Salvation - Lifestyle and or Confrontational Evangelism Saying you believe it but don’t practice it Tithing/offerings - Awe, that’s Old Testament No outreach people are not sharing their faith (Testimony) No Visitation to those in need. 3. Churches are very fragile and even weak - ICHABOD - The glory is departed. I Sam 4:21 Opinions, Wanting it your way Feuds No leadership - Pastor wont’t take a stand or if he does he will be replaced. Because Churches Split or Were started in rebellion. 4. Lack of Pastors and Churches Some cities with 100k people and no gospel witness. Some churches have gone bad or closed where there was a witness. 5. No discipleship - Matthew 28:20 NO Training Center: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. No teaching the principles of God’s Word so people know what they believe. 6. Reasons why Churches are not growing Signs of the times - Excuses Lazy Christianity- To busy Cutting services, NO Revivals, NO Missions emphasis, NO Missionaries NO Outreach NO Prayer meetings Men & Women Prayer meetings NO Fasting 7. Church with a lack of Commitment What happen to the Lord’s day? Sunday AM is enough Will not join Won’t witness or doesn’t know how Afraid to offend Giving in to mediocrity -Awe, someone else will do it, I’ve never been called, NO Tithing - some are so far in debt they don’t think they can. Mal 3:10 - NO Missions giving Pastor has to be Bi-Vocational because folks won’t give. 8. Missionaries not teaching their churches to be Indigenous. Some are just pastors not missionaries - these are not third world countries Lost their vision - killing time between Sundays Blaming the culture Will not help and assist other missionaries Often critical of each other - especially if they are being out done. Missionaries using other missionaries to build their work and not wanting to send them out to start other churches. We need a GREAT AWAKENING in our PULPITS and our PEWS!
